This is a group for backgammon players of all standards - from beginners to champions, it really doesn't matter what level you are.

My aim is to have a laid back sociable afternoon and evening of backgammon in pleasant surroundings in relaxed and friendly company. We usually play until late into the evening and often finish around 10pm - though we have been known to play much later, and once even played until 1am!

The main venue is very centrally located in the heart of London at the Civil Service Club, very close to Trafalgar Square. This is generously served by numerous buses, underground lines and trains - check the meetup message for further info. From time to time I am open to alternative suggestions of other places.. a park, cafe, or library, for example?

If you have one, please bring your own board, however, both I and others should have our own, and I do sometimes carry a spare - all we need is one board between two players. I am always delighted to play on different boards that are different in size, style and feel and to meet the players behind their boards.

I will charge a small fee of £2 that covers admin and other associated fees.
